Researchers will be able to search the 1940 Census using the public computers at National Archives facilities nationwide, or personal computers with Internet access. For general information on the census which includes a list of all of the questions asked go to this web site: http://www.archives.gov/research/census/1940/general-info.html#questions For research go to: http://1940census.archives.gov/ Remember as of right now, the census is NOT indexed by person. You have to know where your ancestor lived (enumeration district) in order to find any information. There are several volunteer projects that will begin in April 2012 to index by person............Lynn Cunningham" The familysearch.org are undergoing a massive attempt to index this census. In the meantime knowing the Enumeration districts will be helpful and I have put them together below................
